Sign InAmid intensifying competition in the global browser market, Opera has announced a significant acceleration in mobile browser adoption across high-value regions. According to reports, the company recorded monthly active user (MAU) growth of 66% in the UK and 40% in the US during the second quarter of 2026. This expansion, representing a combined growth of 48% in these key markets, underscores a growing consumer trend of seeking alternatives to default iOS and Android browsers.
This robust performance comes as tech giants like Google and Apple face increasing pressure to differentiate their offerings. Opera's strategic focus on integrating AI agents has provided a competitive edge, attracting users looking for more sophisticated browsing tools. Per market data, this surge in high-ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) markets strengthens the company's long-term revenue outlook compared to previous fiscal periods.
In the markets, OPRA shares stood at $18.80 (close July 13, 2026), having traded within a range of $18.56 to $19.40 during the session. Investors are now watching for the sustainability of this user acquisition trend, particularly as regulatory shifts in major economies continue to challenge the dominance of default mobile ecosystems.
